Courses
Anatomy & Physiology I & II (CC BY-NC-SA)
This course focuses on a few themes that, when taken together, provide a full view of what the human body is capable of and of the exciting processes going on inside of it. The themes are:
- Structure and function of the body, and the connection between the two.
- Homeostasis, the body’s natural tendency to maintain a stable internal environment.
- Levels of Organization, the major levels of organization in the human organism from the chemical and cellular levels to the tissues, organs and organ systems.
- Integration of Systems, concerning which systems are subsets of larger systems, and how they function together in harmony and conflict.
Atlas of Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy (Lumen/SUNY)
The majority of entries in this atlas were produced by students including dissection, photography, and identification. It is a work in progress, but we hope that students of anatomy find this a useful tool for studying anatomy outside of the lab.
Images
Anatomy Illustrations (CC BY)
A collection of almost 300 anatomy illustrations by an instructor with over twenty years experience teaching anatomy.
Anatomy Video and Imagery Diversity Project (CC-BY-NC)
This database of original images and videos that properly showcase the range of human diversity and that are of sufficient detail and quality to support excellent anatomical teaching across multiple disciplines and levels of learner expertise. We aim to better represent the diversity of people in the population by reflecting different genders, people of different skin tones, body sizes, and compositions, and to provide access to resources that are currently severely lacking in higher education.
Biology 351 – Anatomical Illustrations (CC BY-NC-SA)
These anatomical illustrations were created by Biological and Pre-Medical Illustration (BPMI) students from Iowa State University. The students worked closely with the lab instructor to develop detailed anatomical illustrations of the specimens studied in the lab.
Clinical Anatomy (CC BY-NC-SA)
A collection of videos, interactive modules, anatomical illustrations, interactive radiology, and other media for clinical anatomy.
The Visible Human Project (Public domain)
The NLM Visible Human Project® has created publicly-available, complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of a human male body and a human female body. Specifically, the VHP provides a public-domain library of cross-sectional cryosection, CT, and MRI images obtained from one male cadaver and one female cadaver.
